Alexa beams up new Star Trek skills, including Klingon

Alexa has more than a few things in common with the Enterprise's famed talking computer.

Alexa just wants to live long and prosper.

To mark the premiere of CBS' "Star Trek: Discovery" on Sept. 24, the Amazon Echo has decided to boldly go where no smart speaker has gone before, adding a spaceship full of Trek-inspired skills. (Disclosure: CBS is CNET's parent company.)

Not all of these skills are new, but they're all fun to try -- especially if you've renamed your Alexa smart assistant "Computer," and can pretend she's answering in Majel Barrett-Roddenberry's iconic voice from the show.
